OUR TAKE	The first full-size humanoid built to be looked at rather than put to work. Fabric-wrapped, 27 degrees of freedom, and a motion stack that does runway walks and full splits. It will not do a single chore.	The only humanoid actually living in houses today. Soft-body design, quiet, built for safety around kids and pets.

Detailed comparison: Luna vs NEO Gamma

Luna scores 7/10 in our independent evaluation; NEO Gamma scores 8.4/10. That 1.4000000000000004-point gap is real but not decisive — Luna may still be the right fit depending on your use case.

Luna is best for: Malls, theme parks, trade shows and brand activations that need a crowd to stop walking. NEO Gamma is best for: Households that want a robot around people, kids, and pets as early as possible.

Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Luna and NEO Gamma are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.

WHICHBOT VERDICT

For most buyers we give the nod to NEO Gamma thanks to a lower estimated price and the fact you can actually get it today. But it's closer than the score suggests: Luna wins if your priority is malls, theme parks, trade shows and brand activations that need a crowd to stop walking.
